Learn by Assisting

My friend Sean has been feeling a little under the weather so I went to help him Saturday with a shoot. He had an entire dance school descend on his studio. He directed the whole shoot from his chair while Gerry Noble and I moved lights, set pieces and backgrounds. I didn't touch a camera all day, but still learned a lot about photography. I suggest to any photographer, go an assist occasionally it is always a learning experience.

Sean has taught me so much about lighting, printing and photography in general, I'm always happy to help him out.
